Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 882 [Difficult Decision, Active Legend]
Guo Xu was elected FMVP with an average of 27.5 points, 3 rebounds, 15 assists and 2 steals per game. He only had average data in the third game because the team won easily and he only played 30 minutes before resting.
Stoudemire scored 28+11, and his performance in the second and third games was average. The judges' eyes were sharp, and no one thought he played a greater role than Guo Xu.
Except for the explosion in the first game, James of the Cavaliers performed very ordinary in the other three games. He exchanged high shots for high scores. In the end, he scored 29+7+7 and shot 47% from the field. His weakness is still an old habit, focusing on breakthroughs and being trapped in zone defense.
Today's James has both technical and mental problems. Most of his breakthroughs are crab steps. He habitually walks first and dribbles later. If fans watch carefully, they will find that he moves his feet too many times from receiving the ball to dribbling. The referee will not call it, but it is a bad habit.
James was completely different from the first game to the last game. It can also be seen that he has a mental problem and cannot play against the wind.
In the future, James' ability to play against the wind will become very strong. In Guo Xu's previous life, he led the Cavaliers to reverse the Warriors from a 1-3 deficit in the 2016 Finals. But now he is only good at facing the frame, rarely posting up, and relying on wind to shoot three-pointers.
James' ability to reach consecutive finals depends on the depth of the lineup. From the Cavaliers' total salary, we can see how willing owner Gilbert is to spend money for the championship.
In 2006, James renewed his contract with the Cavaliers in advance. At that time, the Cavaliers could offer up to a five-year contract, but James chose the shorter three-year contract. In the next two years, Gilbert began to build a championship team in order to retain James.
Boozer has always been very stable in the Cavaliers and is recognized as a star power forward. In this finals, he averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds per game, only slightly behind Stoudemire. Mo Williams also averaged 17+4 per game before facing Guo Xu.
Gilbert made his best effort for the star, but at this time James had already begun to consider decision one.
The Cavaliers' total salary is too high, and it is impossible to strengthen the lineup through free market signings this summer. If they want outside stars to join, the Cavaliers can only go through trades, and every team regards guard stars as treasures, otherwise it is impossible to defeat the Suns.
After thinking about it for a moment, James can imagine that the Cavaliers still won't be able to beat the Suns next season. If they want to have the salary space to introduce guard stars in 2010, the Cavaliers will have to consider trade reconstruction this summer and send away high-paid players in exchange for expiring contracts.
In addition to waiting for the Cavaliers to continue to strengthen the lineup, James has another way to compete for the championship, which is to leave in 2010, join other teams to form a team to compete for the championship, and change to a big city to play in the meantime.
His only worry is that if he can't beat the Suns after changing teams and offends his hometown fans, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
When James formed the Heat's Big Three, the situation was better than it is now, because there is no superstar in the league to suppress it. The Heat will almost certainly win the championship after forming a team, and the lineup will crush most teams.
The situation is different now. James was swept by the Suns three times and has a psychological shadow.
The Cavaliers' lineup is definitely not weak, as evidenced by their victory over the Green Army's Big Three last season. How else can he strengthen the lineup? Changing teams can only involve three stars at most. The salary space does not allow a team to have the Big Four, and he can't think of anyone to find to play brother basketball.
In his previous life, it was easy for James to go to the Heat because Wade was very strong and had won the scoring title. He also led the Heat to the championship in 2006 and won the FMVP with his super statistics. Such a person is qualified to be a brother with him, but Wade's condition declined too quickly and he could only do it in 2014.
Now Wade has never made it to the finals, and the team didn't make the playoffs when he won the scoring title. In the Dream Team, he is Guo Xu's younger brother like James. Wade, who lacks record support, cannot protect himself in the Heat, and Riley has begun to consider giving up on him for reconstruction.
Bosh, one of the Big Three, did worse than Wade. The Raptors couldn't get past the first round of the playoffs. He just had better statistics. Bosh's playing style is similar to Boozer's, and he is a star of the same level. James failed to win the championship with the help of Boozer, how much better would it be if he replaced him with Bosh?
Carmelo Anthony, one of the Three Heroes, has a better relationship with James, but the two of them are not easy to work with. They are both players with poor three-point ability and need to attack with the ball.
Guo Xu never deliberately targeted James or dismantled the Cavaliers' lineup. He just led the team to play hard and forced James to almost have no way out.
Guo Xu did not return to the locker room and was interviewed by reporters on the court. A circle of people gathered around him to talk about his feelings.
When talking about the number of championships, Guo Xu said: I have won seven championships, but I cannot say that I have surpassed Jordan now. I don't like to discuss this topic too much.
The reporter asked: What is your motivation for winning the championship?
To put it far, I want to get more honors. To put it more closely, I want to have a good vacation. Only by winning and entering the vacation can I have more fun.
The reporter asked: How do you evaluate your opponents? You have led the team to sweep the Cavaliers three times in four years. What do you think is the biggest gap between James and you?
Am I younger than him?
...
Guo Xu dealt with it in a joking way. Don't add insult to injury when the opponent has already lost. Let the basketball experts evaluate the difference, that's what they do.
Two veterans, Brent Barry and Grant Hill, had many thoughts during the interviews.
Barry can retire without regrets, and Hill expressed his willingness to play for the Suns until he retires.
It is impossible for Hill to get a high-paying long-term contract, but he is very happy in the Suns. The key is that the team doctor healed his injury. He wants to spend the rest of his time radiating all his light and heat like Ron Hubble did with the Lakers, and illuminating others with his own light.
The new players who joined the Suns were also very happy. In interviews, they praised Guo Xu as the best boss and the strongest point guard in history.
The significance of his championship this time is completely different. He has surpassed Jordan with seven rings. The only star in front of him is Russell, the Lord of the Rings. He has become an active legend.
It is really inappropriate to say that Guo Xu has completely surpassed Jordan, because two of his seven championships were won with the Lakers, and he only has five FMVPs, while Jordan has six, and the two are tied for the number of regular season MVPs. Guo Xu's advantage lies in his age. Even if he retires before the age of 35, he can still play for 7 years.
The famous players in the basketball world are now convinced by Guo Xu. No one comes out to criticize him, and there are very few voices of doubt. There are very few people on the Internet who boast that players from the 1980s and 1990s are superior to modern players. There were too few people paying attention to the NBA in that era, and the players' overall strength was not high and they were willing to die. For example, Bias, who was selected as the second overall pick, could overdose on drugs and die...
The base of fans today is several times what it was back then. If ancient fans and modern fans were just looking for abuse, their idols would naturally have no choice but to keep a low profile.
Guo Xu flew back to Phoenix with the team to rest for two days, and the team held a championship parade and celebration party. The Suns won five championships in seven years and became a wealthy team. Brian Colangelo made a lot of money, and the team's market value more than doubled.
When interacting with fans, Guo Xu no longer needs to think about complicated and passionate speeches. He only needs to show up and wave and smile at the fans to get the warmest applause. The popularity of other players combined cannot match his. Compare.
Others only expressed their feelings when they appeared, but Guo Xu sang directly when he appeared, and the piano was prepared for him.
Because he is a superstar in the team, the Suns are planning to find someone to design and launch new home and away jerseys in the summer. As long as the new jerseys are released, a large number of fans will definitely buy and collect them, and they will make a lot of money.
